Fans watching the game on the streaming service said BBC iplayer went down with only three minutes remaining of the game against Sweden.

An outraged fan took to Twitter and said: “iplayer goes down with three minutes to go... BBC I want a full refund of my licence fee and a restaurant voucher minimum as compensation, fuming."

Another added: “TOTALLY thrilled to miss the last 3 minutes of the match iplayer (and it's still down). Tell me again why I bother paying a licence fee?"

And one football fan posted: “@BBCiPlayer just watched around 90 mins of passing thanks to iplayer cutting out for the first ENGSWE goal then shifting forwards to live footage, then changing to a non-game football show for the second. @ITV player works fine, why is your app so hopeless?”
